935.12.2

In these days of respite came the surprising news from Sanbal (Saṃbhal) where `Alī-i-yūsuf had stayed in order to bring the place into some sort of order, that he and a physician who was by way of being a friend of his, had gone to God's mercy on one and the same day. `Abdu'l-lāh (_kitābdār_) was ordered to go and maintain order in Sanbal. (_May 13th_) On Friday the 5th of the month Ramẓān, `Abdu'l-lāh was given leave for Sanbal.[2629] (_ddd. News from the westward._) In these same days came a dutiful letter from Chīn-tīmūr Sl. saying that on account of the journey of the family from Kābul, several of the begs who had been appointed to reinforce him, had not been able to join him;[2630] also that he had gone out with Muḥammadī and other begs and braves, not less than 100 _kurohs_ (200m.), attacked the Balūchīs and given them a good beating.[2631] Orders were sent through `Abdu'l-lāh (_kitābdār_) for the Sulṯān that he and Sl. Muḥammad _Dūldāī_, Muḥammadī, and some of the begs and braves of that country-side should assemble in Āgra and there remain ready to move to wherever an enemy appeared. (_eee.
